IMPROVEMENTS RELATING TO FUEL ELEMENTS FOR NUCLEAR REACTORS AND TO NUCLEAR REACTORS USING SUCH ELEMENTS

Patent ·
OSTI ID:4105265
A reactor fuel element for vertical fuel channels in graphite-moderated reactors is designed with a plurality of struts arranged for movement between a retracted position, in which the element can move freely in the channel, and an extended position, which allows the struts to engage supporting ledges in the channel and thus to center and support the element. Drawings are included. Some aspects of the design are given in Patent Serial No. 854,883. (D.L.C.)
